The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[POV Reo]

After meeting with the Yaoyorozu family their daughter Momo invited me to play with her. Honestly, I didn't have a single clue about what kind of games kids played. While she dragged me, I kept praying to God so he would give me a manual or something similar like that... after a few seconds, I opened my eyes and found nothing changed. I just let out a huge sigh... and let myself be pulled by Momo. ​ ​

Until today I thought of her as a spoiled princess who won't lower herself to play with a servant's son but I found that she didn't have the courage to talk with me until today. At first, she told me that I looked scary to her but now that I have talked to her... I wasn't that scary to her anymore.

"Reo-kun, here we are" she took me to a room filled with toys. This must be something rich people did. After all, I don't think anyone would have a whole room filled with toys.

"So, what do you want to play Momo-san? I don't know much about games" I told her honestly. There is nothing to hide about this and nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Don't worry Reo-kun, I would teach you" she pulled me with her.

When I finally came back home I was dead tired. I don't even want to imagine how a little girl like her has so much energy. At first, she showed me her Quirk, and then she was asked me to show her my Quirk along with puppy dog eyes. I have to completely agree that she is a little ball of energy. Running around everywhere with a huge grin on her face. She told me that I was her first friend, all her other friends didn't like her because she came with a bodyguard when she went to the nearby park.

Well, what image I had of her until today was completely changed after I spent the whole day with her. She is just a lonely girl, she doesn't think highly of her because she is rich or she is from a rich family. I could clearly see her happiness when I spend my day with her. I was brought out of my thoughts when my stomach rumbled. Fuck... I am hungry.

I climbed up the stupid chair again... wait, why don't I learn how to fly like how Magneto flew. I decided to give it a try... I concentrated really hard. I focused on the magnetic fields around me...

*FART*

Well, that was embarrassing... I am so glad that my mom isn't here. I gave up for now and decided to concentrate on the food. I quickly ate my food and ran outside so that I could test my powers. I pulled out a coin on the ground and kept moving away from the coin, after moving away about 10 meters I could no longer move the coin but I could still feel it.

After moving for what I thought was another 5 meters, I could no longer feel the coin. So I guess this is my limit for now. I again moved at the previous mark from where I could no longer move the coin.

I decided to use different emotions now, first I tried a happy memory. Didn't work, then anger, that also didn't work. Then I tried serenity, the coin trembled slightly. So my strongest memory is also serenity... I need to work hard on that. The trainer is going to come from the next week... from what Mrs. Yaoyorozu told my mom he would only give us light exercises according to our Quirks and also write down a special kind of diet if needed.

From what I remember from the anime, Momo creates objects from fat stored in her body. So I think she would need special food too. I returned back to our house and directly went to take a bath. Ahh... a nice shower is heavenly after a long day.

One week passed in a blink of an eye. Both Momo and I were excited, but we were calm on the outside because we were waiting for our trainer. Mr. and Mrs. Yaoyorozu were talking to a tall middle-aged guy, he was our trainer I think. He clearly wasn't Japanese because his Japanese has an accent. Finally, he finished his talk with Momo's parents and came to greet us.

"Hello, my name is Carmine Alessandro, I will be your trainer" he spoke. From his name, seemed like Italian, how the hell did I even know that?

"Hello Alessandro-san, my name is Itsuki Reo. I am looking forward to your training" I introduced myself.

"I am Yaoyorozu Momo, nice to meet you Alessandro-san" Momo also introduced herself. Throughout the whole week, both of us played together regularly. I can say with full confidence that I am Momo's friend. I ain't gonna bitch about how in one week I came to love her and all that. All of those are complete and utter bullshit, I am a kid, I don't even know what the hell love is.

"Nice to meet both of you too, just call me Carmine. Now follow me to the training area your parents showed me" he said to us leading us towards the training room in the Yaoyorozu compound. I thought this was another rich people stuff and stuffed it back in my brain in the folder of rich people stuff.

"Now both of you stand aside, let me see" he said and his eyes turned completely white. First, he looked at Momo and wrote down some notes, and then looked at me. For a moment he flinched... that is not good. He gathered his bearings and wrote down some stuff again.

"Yaoyorozu-san, you will need a special food course because your Quirk needs body fat to work. After today's session, I will give your parents a note about your food regimen. Itsuki-san, you won't be needing any special food. But you will need both fitness and emotional control to get the best results from your Quirk" Carmine said. What is this guy's Quirk? It was really easy for him to decipher my Quirk.

After that Carmine gave us some light exercises which would help out our bodies and he said it would be a good foundation for our future. He helped us with the exercises and wrote down the regimen and handed it to our parents before leaving. Both me and Momo were tired after that so we decided to return to our own home.

I found out from my mom that Carmine Alessandro was the best trainer in whole Japan. One single session with him costs thrice of what my mom and dad earn together in a whole month. Fuck... rich people. He was a busy man due to that, he will only visit once a week week and give us new exercises if needed. Until he says so we had to follow the training regimen he gave us.

The next I joined Momo in the training room. Now, the time we spent playing together we spend training together. We completed the exercises and got tired. What more can you expect from a 4 years old kid? The whole routine continued for the whole week before Carmine visited again but he didn't change the regiment.

(A/N: I know this is a huge time skip but I don't know what kids of that age do. And I don't want to take too much time with just childhood. The next chapter will be about middle school)

Just like this 6 years passed in the blink of an eye... I didn't even know these 6 years came to pass. Throughout these six years both me and Momo trained hard along with having fun from time to time... you know what normal kids do. Both of us never got close to any other kids because they didn't like Momo because she was rich. I think that is stupid... it was not Momo's fault that she had rich parents you know.

Both I and Momo became really close throughout these 6 years, but we could still only be called best friends. After all, we trained and studied together all these years. Both of us had been homeschooled until now and finally, we were going to attend the middle school.

Now let's talk about training and development... I could now manipulate metals from 35 meters away and I could feel metals 50 meters away. I could pull out minerals from the ground but still, I cannot fly like Magneto did in the movies. I need to work hard on that. Only after two years of training with Carmine, he gave me meditation exercises, and to be honest it helped me a lot.

I was walking by Momo's side, we just entered our new school. Momo was really excited... she still has her bouncy personality. I was playing with a coin without even looking.

"Come on Reo-kun... aren't you excited about making new friends?" Momo asked me really excited. She grabbed my hand and started to drag me.

"Hai hai... Momo-chan" I replied. When Momo gets excited like this I just had to be dragged around so I just give up. But she is really like a ball of energy I would never want her to change...
